Very fast growing vine to 10-15ft. Vines
may be ground dwelling, but grow best when give upward support. Care is
similar to other gourds and melons. Water frequently, grow in full sun.
If growing for sponges, allow the fruits to turn from green to yellow
on the vine. Fruits will lose quite a bit of moisture and become light. Fruits can be eaten, but the vine is
most commonly grown for the fibrous interior of the fruits, which when
dried, can be used as a sponge.Plant 1 1/2" deep in sand/loam soil mix and keep damp - full sun and warmth.
